Frozen Waterfalls. They are not really frozen just minerals from a mineral spring.
After the trek we spent three days in Oaxaca. The first day was just spent wandering around the town. The second day we went to Herve El Agua a petrified waterfall up in the nearby mountains. Took us ages to get there but it was really worth it. We swam in thes pools perched on top of the hils with blue skies and amazing views.

The last day we went up to Monte Alban another Archeoligical site. Oaxaca was lovely with lots of art galeries, music, churches and more chicken with chocolate sauce.

And we did three salsa lessons. Salsa music is everywhere and we are really getting into it.
